What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

This is not a state smoking ban. It is a smoking ban everywhere except the Indian Casino's! I guess the nannys do not care about the employees there. I guess when a democrat is bought and paid for you have nothing to worry about.
Let us see how the bars do up North when this stupid bad starts.
To Anon; Indian casinos in Wisconsin are on sovereign land. Not State of Wisconsin land.
By law.
Treaty.
Why are you making this out to be a partisan issue?
So I guess, the Casinos do not follow the State of Wisconsin liquor laws then, right Jim?
To Anon: I know that some matters between Indian casinos and the state, or the feds, are governed by Compact.
Others, differently.
So I can't answer your question.
